I thought The Black Alley would be some type of reality ebony site for some reason, but I couldn't be further from the truth. It's actually an Asian glamour site of sorts, with a little history behind it as well. Apparently the photographers for the old Asian4You site are now shooting here at The Black Alley, since Asian4You is no longer around. I guess if you liked the old site, you should like this stuff too. The content looks to be high quality, exclusive material, and updates seem to come daily. $25 a month gets you in the door (or they alley, I guess), which isn't too bad.
The goods:
- High-quality, exclusive Asian content. Of course, that's the name of the game here, so we shouldn't expect anything less. You'll find some exotic locations and girls here, and it's definitely all exclusive as they have a certain look and feel to their material.
- Daily updates. It all adds up to about 10 new photosets, and a couple new videos each week. I wish there were more videos coming online, but you can't really complain about the current update schedule at all. Give them some time, and things will definitely start picking up in terms of numbers.
- Videos look decent too. So far, the pictures are the main draw of the site I'd say, only because there are so many more of them. However, they kept the quality up in the video section as well, which is nice to see. The next jump up would be high-def!
The bads:
- Some excessive airbrushing here. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the airbrush on girls, especially when it's so noticeable. It was a pretty big problem for me here, as most every picture has just too much blurring going on.
- Could use more videos. They're adding two a week, so it's not like they're not here and available, but compared to the number of photo galleries, it seems a lot smaller. Hopefully once they've gotten their video counts into the hundreds, it won't seem like such a big deal.
- No model info. Sites like this have a great opportunity to let you get to know the models a bit, and it's disappointing that they didn't really offer any of that here. Each girl has multiple sets and videos, but there's no real info on them.
Conclusion:
I think The Black Alley is off to a pretty nice start here overall. The content is pretty good (especially if you don't mind airbrushed photos), and the updates come daily here. Given some time, they should have quite a collection going here. There are a few more things I'd love to see added of course, but overall I can't complain too much.
